For a change, the Chinese government have decided to impose their holier-than-thou ideals on the public by preventing access to common social networking sites, including twitter.com
Not happy with just blocking Blogger, YouTube and a plethora of others, the Great Firewall of China has put a stop to Twitter, Flickr, Bing, Live.com, Hotmail.com and others too. I’m guessing that China are looking to slowly remove Chinese social networking & reduce communication generally online, in a hope to stop this pesky freedom of speech stuff.
You may remember an article I wrote previously about China’s efforts to stifle freedom of speech, after YouTube and a few other video sites were “unplugged” from China’s network overnight – and it seems now that things are getting worse. Come on China! What are you afraid of? A revolution?!
